Love it. Nicholson scared the shit out of me when I was younger. And the quick flashes revealing the carnage caused by the previous caretaker always gave me the creeps.

I don't hate it but I don't love... and there wasn't an inbetween selection.

If I had never read the book, I'd probably love it.... BUT having read the book before the movie was made, I have big issues with several aspects of the movie.

I was really disappointed when it first came out since it was so different from the book. Now, though, I completely separate it from the book and I love it.

liked the book alot more than the movie but nicholson was great.He was one of the things I found wrong with the movie. Problem is Jack is supposed to gradually go under the influence of the hotel... but Jack looks nutso from the get-go.

The book was better, but I still love the film. Scared the shit outta me when I was younger.

I remember being afraid of the cover of the book when I was a kid. The kid's eyes were white and it creeped me out.
